Chapter 1221 The doctor left, but his invention is still going strong
Seventeen years ago, on a sunny day.
But unlike the weather, a gloomy haze darkly enveloped the Akai family.
Mary Akai boarded a flight to Neon with her two young sons.
On the plane, 11-year-old Akai Hideyoshi complained to his mother: "I have so many good friends in Ingland, why do I have to go to Neon?"
Sitting next to him was 15-year-old Akai Shuichi. Although he looked a little young, he already showed the calmness he would later develop. He crossed his arms, a hat covering most of his face. He said in a deep voice, "Hideyoshi, have you forgotten what your father said in the message?"
"From now on, we have to hide our identities as Ingran people and go to live in Neon."
Akai Hideyoshi naturally understood, but still felt a little unwilling: "But I haven't said goodbye to my friends properly yet!"
At this time, Akai Mary suddenly spoke: "Hideyoshi, do you remember that Dad has a friend named Haneda?"
Akai Hideyoshi nodded.
"He has a son named Hiroshi, right?"
Hearing this name, Akai Hideyoshi excitedly said, "Yes! That's the brother who's great at playing shogi!"
Akai Mary said in a heavy voice, "It was that Hiroshi. He died mysteriously in the United States. Hiroshi's father asked your father to investigate the matter. Later, your father found that the opponent was very difficult to deal with. He sensed the danger and asked us to go to Neon to hide."
The Akai brothers' expressions grew serious.
Akai Mary smiled and comforted, "But don't worry, your father is a very powerful man. I believe he will be able to catch all those bad guys and then come back to reunite with us."
"After all, he has two such lovely sons waiting for him."
Akai Mari gently stroked her belly again and said softly, "Also, he must want to see the child too."
"This child?" Akai Hideyoshi was a little confused, but Akai Shuichi understood something and subconsciously glanced at his mother's belly.
Akai Mary smiled and said: "She is your sister~"
In a trance, Sera Masumi's voice interrupted Akai Shuichi's memories.
"Hey, tell me, Mio."
Miyano Shiho looked helpless: "What do you want me to say?"
Sera Masumi pinched her buttocks and said, "Look, isn't it very feminine and curvy?"
Miyano Shiho covered her face with her hands: "Yes, yes, very much."
"Wow, be serious!" Sera Masumi continued to shake her butt.
Miyano Shiho was about to vomit blood. What was wrong with this tomboy? Why did she suddenly care so much about curves?
Also, her goal was clearly the medicine, so why did she keep talking about the curve?
It's all that guy's fault! Miyano Shiho suddenly glared at Okiya Subaru.
Okiya Subaru was stunned for a moment, then couldn't help but smile. He glanced at Sera Masumi and thought to himself - this child has really grown up a lot~
On this side, Takagi Shigeru received a call from the headquarters, saying that the appraiser would not be able to come until tomorrow.
Inspector Megure was very disappointed: "What's going on? Are all the appraisers in Tokyo not available today?"
Gao Mushi said regretfully: "That's right, those famous appraisers are either traveling or on business trips, so they are all busy. As for the others..."
Of course, there are some less famous appraisers, but when it comes to the identity of the murderer, Inspector Megure dare not look for those unreliable appraisers. If he makes a mistake, it will be a big trouble.
At this time, the three people in the room also heard the conversation between Inspector Megure and the others, and immediately asked dissatisfiedly: "Hey, hey, you don't want us to wait until tomorrow?!"
Motoyuki Toshima has made an appointment with a buyer to sell this plate, and he also said that the buyer came from abroad specially, and if he missed this opportunity, he would never be able to make another appointment.
Chinji Chono will display the plate at his former company's 40th anniversary party and share his experience buying the plate.
Itamaki Suzue has made an appointment with a photographer to shoot a documentary about plates, which will start in three hours.
None of the three wanted to wait until tomorrow.
After hearing this, Takagi Wataru quickly said, "I'm sorry, the plate is very important evidence in this case, so it needs to be handed over to our police for temporary safekeeping."
The three immediately expressed their disagreement.
At this time, Inspector Megure said seriously: "Everyone calm down first. We can't let the murderer go unpunished no matter what. Please cooperate with us." After saying that, he bowed slightly.
The three of them also knew that what Inspector Megure said was true, and since an inspector had asked them so much, they had no way of continuing to express their objection and could only remain silent.
I was thinking hard about whether there was any good reason to take the plate away.
At this time, Qianye He came over with a small transparent bag in his hand.
"Inspector, we found this next to the body. It looks like a hearing aid."
Inside the bag was a hearing aid decorated with small wings.
Inspector Megure took the bag and looked at it in confusion. Why was there this thing?
At this time, Conan's innocent voice sounded below: "Isn't that the wireless hearing aid invented by the doctor, the hearing angel?"
Inspector Megure immediately looked at Conan: "Conan, do you know this thing?"
Conan nodded vigorously: "I have seen this among the doctor's inventions. Mr. Xijin should have bought it from the doctor, right?"
His expression was a little subtle. "The doctor said that this hearing aid can transform the speaker's voice and the sounds of the surrounding environment into angelic whispers and transmit them softly to the wearer."
Chiba Kazunobu speculated, "So, this hearing aid must have fallen to the ground when the victim was attacked by the murderer, right?"
Inspector Megure pondered for a moment, then turned to the three and asked, "Have you three seen this thing before?"
All three said they had seen it before, but they didn't know it was a hearing aid because Xijin Houxuan spoke to them very fluently and didn't seem like he couldn't hear anything.
At this time, Chiba Kazunobu signaled to Yuya, and the two walked aside.
Chiba Kazunobu said, "We found a message in the victim's phone. It was a message you sent to the victim 20 minutes before the incident. Do you still remember it?"
Yuya nodded, "Of course, that's what I sent to Mr. Nishizu, telling him we were leaving. Is there anything wrong with that message?"
Chiba Kazunobu looked puzzled. "There's nothing wrong with the information itself. I just don't know why Mr. Nishizu didn't check it."
You was also stunned. No wonder Xijin Houxuan didn't reply. It turned out that he didn't see the message at all.
But the next second, Chiba Kazunobu's words made him understand the reason: "But, Mr. Nishizu's phone clearly has a message alert tone set."
Yuya was silent for a moment, then said speechlessly, "That might be the hearing aid the doctor invented, and it just happened to break down at that time. After all, things invented by the doctor are useful, but sometimes unpredictable things can happen."
However, it seems that there has never been any problem with the things he made for Conan.
Maybe this is the effect of the protagonist's halo?
